8. Check the backpressure to confirm that the regenerant path is ready:

Note the pump pressure.

b. Disconnect the CES

REGEN IN

from the CD

OUT

(the high-pressure

side) and note the difference in the pump pressure.

If the difference is less than 0.7 MPa (100 psi), the low-pressure flow
path is ready and you can proceed to the next step.

NOTE

If the pressure difference is greater than 0.7 MPa (100 psi),
refer to the ICS-5000+ operator’s manual for troubleshooting
information on high system backpressure.

4.1.6

Checking the Background Conductivity

If you are installing a CD, check the background conductivity before
continuing.

1. Set the pump

Purge

flow rate to 0.03 mL/min and the

Duration

to 900 s.

Click

Prime

2. Monitor the background conductivity. Verify that the conductivity is



S before proceeding.

3. Remove the tubing assemblies between the injection valve

ELUENT OUT

and the CD

4.1.7

Completing the Installation Qualification

Complete the Installation Qualification (IQ) and system function test to
confirm that the Dionex ICS-5000

system is correctly installed. For

instructions, refer to

Dionex ICS-5000

System Installation Qualification

(Document No. 065404), provided in the DC Ship Kit (P/N 072011, standard
DC; P/N 22171-62000, low-temperature DC).

NOTE

If you are installing an ED, fill and flush the liquid path (see

Section 4.1.9

) and set up the eluent generator (see

Section 4.1.10

) before completing the IQ and performing the

system function test. The test for an ED requires KOH eluent.
The test for a CD requires only deionized water.
